I recently found myself in a bittersweet situation:
having to write with no electricity. My whole city had a problem and I had many
things to get done with, so I had to take advantage of the load left on my
laptop battery. When it died, I couldn’t do anything else.

It isn’t something new for me. It has happened
a lot, and despite it is bothering and causes many problems, writing with no electricity also gives me
the chance to finish things faster and dedicate a proper edition time once the
energy is back.

Many of us have so many hobbies and rituals
when it comes to writing that we get to think that if we don’t follow that
scheme, that exact routine, we won’t be able to write a single word, and we won’t,
but not because of the routine, but because we cage ourselves in that thought.

I always need some music, my internet connection,
check my social media, respond some messages, and I’m obsessed, vey obsessed with
my Gmail: I always think there’s a dead-end mail about to arrive, and so I end
up checking my inbox like crazy every minute, it's not a joke.

When I have no electricity, or my battery is
dying (like right now,) my brain thinks: F*ck it, you need to work, so get into it now or die.

I may end up
more tired than usual, because having Asperger’s makes it even harder for me to
break my routine, but I also finish things on time, maybe not all of them, but
a good amount of them.What about you guys? Have you ever find yourselves
in a situation in which you need to work as if your life depends on it? Does it
work for you to be on extreme conditions? Let me know in the comments!
